I wish I was magical, but I'm not (anymore).  I really had high hopes
about rebuilding my piano (1921 upright Beckwith player), but now I'm not
so sure.  It is in deplorable condition, and badly needs rebuilding, but I
can't spend the money.  I would like to just let it alone, but I wouldn't
 get any joy, knowing it's little secret every time I saw it.  I will read
Reblitz's book, then make my final decision.

My endless questions about hide glue are almost over.  I found it without
having to go through the Player Piano Supply Co.  I was sent a message
from J. W. Miller suggesting violin shops, and I also found it through a
piano restoration shop for $4 per pound plus shipping & handling.
(Player Piano Co. is $6.00/lb or $25 for 5 lbs.)

AMICA -- What is it?  Why should I join?  What do you get in the mail and
how often does that come?  How much is it?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!  ----- currently applies to Hanukah
